摘要
Gas conditioning towers (GCTs) or cooling towers have broad industrial applicability, especially in the cement industry. Most cement factories deal with the same problems faced by other factories. However, the solutions to these problems are barely internationally published and have not received much attention, meaning a lot of time and money is spent on researching previous solutions. Iran is among the top ten cement manufacturing countries in the world. Therefore, many of these problems have occurred in Iranian cement factories. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of studies in this field over the last couple of decades, with a particular focus on advances in Iran. The most important findings in the literature are summarised in order to suggest the best possible solutions for improving the performance and lifetime of GCTs and decreasing common problems such as dust build-up and wet bottom. Numerical methods for modelling different aspects of GCTs are reviewed. The results can be used to reduce water and energy consumption, air pollution and the repair and maintenance costs of cement factories. © 2023 Emerald Publishing Limited: All rights reserved.
